The two-match league qualifier against Turku Palloseura starts on Thursday. The loser of the qualifier will play in the First Division next season.
Football team FC Lahti will play for their league place this week.
On Thursday, the team will face Turku Palloseura on the away pitch and on Sunday TPS will come to Lahti Stadium. The aggregate result of the two-legged qualifying round will decide who will continue in the league and who in Division One.
– Those matches are tight games where small things can make a big difference. Basically, I have faith in this team that we should take care of them, but there are many other things that should have been taken care of this season.
At the end of the 2010 season, FC Lahti was last relegated to the lower league level, but got back to the league immediately after one season.
